No, that's tolerance.

No it's not. Tolerance is only a part of the equation.

Re: Is Intolerance Wrong?

I've been re-thinking this and I believe being intolerant depends on what happened to the individual on the day they were intolerant about whatever it is. Tolerance has levels and after a while you can just "be over it". Everyone's felt that way, especially behind the wheel.
